I’m downvoting this because I don’t think Elon is important for gaming, and I think his game will be hot stinky dooky.

I could never seem to get my head around Merge Maestro. It’s on my phone and paid for though. Maybe I’ll give it another go.

Thanks! It’s quite comfy to play with, and rides along real smooth in my bag. I know they’re out of production, but air decks can still be found here and there if you look hard enough. I picked mine up for fifteen dollars each—not bad for a PVC deck that I’ve had for like six years now.
(Also yes, I used an em-dash, no, I’m not AI, I just like em-dashes.)

Hey now, as a 40-year-old, I find myself heavily invested in the Zachtronics Solitaire Collection on my phone—oh no. I’ve become an old solitaire lady.
NOOOOOOOOOOO

I mean, I thought Japanese was super straightforward compared to English. I’ve been speaking English for three goddamn decades and I:
- still occasionally flip my Rs and Ls when I’m going fast and being careless
- have to pause a beat before saying “Canada” to make sure I don’t use the rhythm structure/emphasis pattern for “banana”
- sometimes just get really lost when I make a complicated sentence and have to stop and try again
- can barely remember that English speakers take pills, and not drink them (you don’t chew them, for fucks sake! Just say drink!)
- fucking hate that OUGH has more readings than most kanji
- realized a couple years into learning English, that English has twenty-six radicals, stacked horizontally, and they make a word, and that word may not be pronounced how the radicals suggest, and it’s best just to memorize 116,000 kanji-words (and you English speakers bitch about kanji so endlessly, not understanding the sheer absolute fucking monster you came from)

Hi, I came the other way. Air Force baby who spent most of her younger years speaking Japanese and eventually got English happening.
So many people have asked me if they can learn Japanese, and my answer is the same: it’s a whole-ass language that takes many years to be good at, to use for communication. Most people realize they’re not going to be good at a language in three weeks and they bail.
Don’t use a language for just one thing (unless that one thing is to communicate with a society).
I committed myself to learning English because my family and I live in America now, and I needed to communicate with a society in it. (And I think my English is pretty good now but it’s not without a lot of trying, even now. I actually have to fight to maintain my Japanese, by reading books and watching movies and TV!)

Yup, this is why I never ever play multiplayer in video games. Also most of my board game play is solo too.

Thanks. I ate a bag of tiny cereal marshmallows this morning and it was tasty.

It’s just something I made up, but I did just finish out a 13k short story for a board game studio. My English has gotten good enough that people will pay me for it, so there’s that.

The noise has no skin, a sharp implement, and lurches in staccato.
Best of luck, buddy.

Thanks for that.

Silent Hill was good about this. They’d pack an ambulance into an alleyway with less than a centimeter of clearance on each side, and there would be no real way for the driver to get out, but it was creepy cause there wasn’t anyone in the driver’s seat, as if the ambulance was just placed there.
Meanwhile, in the Vyssa Hills in Hell is Us, and the military-issue APC rolls over a single thin tree trunk that the protagonist refuses to step on. :/

I haven’t had my hair cut since ‘08.
I could probably go get it done, but it looks alright and doesn’t seem to grow further than the small of my back.
I’m a 40-year old woman.

And I make a point of avoiding early access (though I have been known to drift too far in the other direction and I play a lot of PICO-8 prototypes), so I’m looking forward to seeing this one with fresh eyes!
